Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 74: Learn to Face It

After that night, the two of them resumed contact with each other through a single text message.

Shen Jiaojiao received an invitation to Gu Sheng's opening party, so she ordered a white evening gown so that she could take photos with her friends. When she heard that there would also be a masquerade ball, she also ordered a long dress that was black on top and red on the bottom.

After it's done, if you're satisfied with it after trying it on, Aunt Xue will be responsible for sending it for cleaning...

Lu Shize has been busy. After finishing his work in XXX City, he went to D County to visit Grandma Shen... He stayed there for one more day and then went to Yuxia City to discuss another cooperation.

"Uncle can't make it to the Gu family's party, right?"

Before going to bed, Aunt Xue handed Shen Jiaojiao some warm water. She asked, and Aunt Xue nodded, "Butler Zhao, that's what I mean... But the master's clothes are all ready. If he goes, he will still make it in time."

Shen Jiaojiao felt relieved. Since her uncle couldn't go, it meant they didn't need to meet again. She pulled the rabbit doll over and said, "...it's okay if he doesn't go."

Aunt Xue took back her water cup and said, "Miss, have a good rest tonight and don't stay up late to do homework. You start studying even later than my sister's child who is taking the college entrance examination."

Shen Jiaojiao lay down and chuckled, "It's different... Don't I occasionally stay in bed during the day? A senior high school student can't stay in bed."

Aunt Xue raised her hand to smooth her bangs and looked at her seriously, "Jiaojiao...eat well every day and have a good rest...someone will worry about you."

Lu Shize only exchanged one text message with Shen Jiaojiao, not more than that, but in the phone calls he made to Xue and Zhao, there were always three or five sentences that revealed his worry.

Gu Sheng held the opening ceremony at his home this time. Shen Jiaojiao and Fang Zhi met outside the villa. Fang Zhi left her driver and got into Shen Jiaojiao's car, and then they drove up the mountain together... After entering the gate, the spacious courtyard was already very lively, and there were quite a few people attending.

There are hundreds of jasmine plants scattered across the courtyard, exuding a refreshing fragrance. As soon as Fang Zhi got out of the car, she praised it highly, saying, "It's so beautiful..."

These flowers have been carefully arranged, each one vying for beauty and thriving. A band was also invited to play in the slightly higher attic. The music was relatively soft, making it more pleasant for those who strolled among the flowers.

There was a stream under the attic, which was clear, sweet, slow and tranquil. Some fish the size of fingers were swimming among the rocks. Shen Jiaojiao took a few glances and raised her hand to take a picture.

Going further in, there is the game area, which is designed like a park. There are people playing ring tossing, shooting balloons, and several people gathered around a stone table watching Go... When Shen Jiaojiao stepped to the ring tossing area, a few boys who were a little more alert stood up quickly, "Jiaojiao is here, this is for you."

Several colored rings were handed over, and Shen Jiaojiao picked one up at random, "I'll put this one on, it's not bad"... Then she turned to Fang Zhi and said, "Which one do you want? I'll put it on you."

Fang Zhi took a look and pointed excitedly, "That puppy is pretty good!"

The furry doll was small and placed a little far away. Shen Jiaojiao adjusted her posture slightly before throwing the colorful ring out. Sure enough, it turned and stood beside the puppy for a while, then fell down and fit accurately.

Applause and praise immediately broke out from the crowd. Li Jin hurriedly picked up the doll and ran over respectfully, "Congratulations, Miss Shen! It's yours!"

He had just gone ahead and delivered the flowers when his boss asked him to. To be precise, this was the first time he had seen Shen Jiaojiao. She was indeed the most precious young lady in City A, and her appearance was beyond reproach.

The young men around seemed unable to take their eyes off her. Li Jin smiled and thought it was no wonder that Gu Sheng wanted to send flowers himself.

Shen Jiaojiao took it and handed it to Fang Zhi. Fang Zhi pulled her and said, "Come on, let's take a photo with the puppy."

Shen Jiaojiao was afraid of the sun, so she wandered around for a while and didn't stay in the courtyard for too long. She said goodbye to Fang Zhi and went into the main house first. Fang Zhi and a few friends waited for Lu Yanran and stayed in the courtyard to continue playing.

The party hadn't officially started yet. There was an indoor game room on the second floor of the building, but Shen Jiaojiao wasn't very interested. She hadn't played the games at home very often. "...besides this?"

The young lady who led the way hurriedly said, "There is an audio-visual room on the first floor. Miss, is it okay for you to take a look?"

Shen Jiaojiao thought there was nothing else to do, so she nodded and followed the people all the way to the audio-visual room. She leaned over slightly, walked to the seat at the back and sat down. She turned her phone to silent mode and watched the movie quietly.

There were snacks and drinks prepared next to the seats. After watching for a while, Aunt Xue bent down and came in from the back door, sat down next to her, and whispered, "Miss, the gentleman is coming over tonight."

"come over?"

"Well, the gentleman has returned to the city now, but he has to go back to the company first. As for the formal suit, Lao Zhao has already brought it over."

Shen Jiaojiao took out her cell phone, and sure enough, there was a report message from the man in the dialog box, saying that he would be here around 6:30 in the evening, and asked Shen Jiaojiao to have a good rest first, have fun in the evening, and not to get too tired.

If her uncle was coming, Shen Jiaojiao subconsciously wanted to hide, but Aunt Xue didn't understand and held her down, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Jiaojiao really didn't want to see Lu Shize, not at all.

She quickly left the studio, and Aunt Xue assumed she was anxious. "Miss, do you want to get your makeup done now? I'll call right away." Shen Jiaojiao rarely wore makeup, feeling it put a strain on her skin. So whenever she attended a banquet, she only did some basic skincare and arrived bare-faced, waiting until the party was about to begin before putting on her makeup.

"no".

Old Xue looked at her blankly. Shen Jiaojiao bit her lip and said, "I...I want to go home!"

Old Xue was even more confused. Shen Jiaojiao just walked forward and hurriedly called driver Qi.

The other end picked up almost instantly.

Shen Jiaojiao quickly said, "Uncle Qi, I want to go back, please come to the door quickly..."

"Miss, I'm not here! My husband just asked me to pick him up."

“···No, how could he···”

"I'm also surprised! But when someone called me, it wasn't Lao Zhao who called, but Mr. himself!

He also said that you would call me, and sure enough you called, and then the gentleman asked me to convey a message to you, saying that since you are here, you should make the best of it..."

Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao stopped... No, what does it mean to make the best of a bad situation? What? Did he guess that she was going to run?

etc···

Shen Jiaojiao thought quickly and realized that she had been caught by him three times in the past two months!

No, just run away by yourself, what does it have to do with him?

Now he has even sent his driver away!!!

Even without a driver, it’s still possible to hail a ride online, but Shen Jiaojiao suddenly felt a little depressed.

How could he calculate every step? I feel like a fool.

"Miss...?" Aunt Xue chased after her.

Shen Jiaojiao turned her head sideways blankly, "Chu Xia, are you here today?"

Xue blinked, remembered something, and quickly took out her cell phone. The font on her phone was very large, and after scrolling down a few rows, Shen Jiaojiao first saw Chu Xia, who had already signed in today.

Like an ostrich, she was lingering on her uncle's phone call that night, but she also knew clearly that she could not overstep her bounds.

That was the love he gave to his relatives, and he could only stay in the position of a relative for the rest of his life.

When can I be a good bystander?

There was still more than an hour before the banquet started. Shen Jiaojiao put her phone back into her backpack and said, "Let's go do our makeup."

Perhaps, after seeing Lu Shize and Chu Xia spend more time together, the little darkness in my heart will completely disappear, and I will learn to stand at a distance, watch my uncle's happiness openly, and be a good well-wisher.
